Lauer \& Postman (LP) observe that all Abell clusters with redshifts less than 15,000\kms\ appear to be participating in a bulk flow of 689 km s$^{-1}$ with respect to the Cosmic Microwave Background. We find this result difficult to…

The kinematics of galaxies with 10 megaparsecs (10 Mpc) of the Milky Way is investigated using published distances and radial velocities. With respect to the average Hubble flow (isotropic or simple anisotropic), there is NO systematic…

We study the kinematics of dark matter using the massive cluster of galaxies 1E0657-56. The velocity of the "bullet" subcluster has been measured by X-ray emission from the shock front, and the masses and separation of the main and…

We use fundamental plane (FP) distance estimates to the components of the double cluster A2626 (cz~17,500 km/s) to constrain cluster kinematics and estimate total binding mass. The FP coefficients for a sample of 24 early type and S0…

We have derived a new photographic photometry and proper motions for 20000 stars with completeness to V = 18 in the direction of galactic center at the intermediate latitude (l = 3 deg,b = 47 deg; alpha(1950)=15h 18m, delta(1950) = +02deg…

We have looked for bulk motions of galaxy clusters in the WMAP~7 year data. We isolate the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal by filtering the WMAP Q, V and W band maps with multi-frequency matched filters, that utilize the spatial…

We study the peculiar velocity field inferred from the Mark III spirals using a new method of analysis. We estimate optimal values of Tully-Fisher scatter and zero-point offset, and we derive the 3-dimensional rms peculiar velocity…

Galaxy cluster peculiar velocities can be inferred from high-sensitivity, high-resolution multiple-frequency observations in the 30 to 400 GHz range. While galaxy cluster counts and power spectra are sensitive to the growth factor, peculiar…

Using the nearly full sky Ks=11.75 2MASS Redshift Survey [2MRS]of ~45,000 galaxies we reconstruct the underlying peculiar velocity field and constrain the cosmological bulk flow within ~100. These results are obtained by maximizing the…

We investigate the rms peculiar velocity of galaxy clusters in the Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) and tau cold dark matter ($\tau$CDM) cosmological models using N-body simulations. Cluster velocities for different cluster masses and…

(abridged) We have measured the absolute proper motions of nine low-latitude, inner Galaxy globular clusters, namely NGC 6273 (M 19), NGC 6284, NGC 6287, NGC 6293, NGC 6333 (M 9), NGC 6342, NGC 6356, NGC 6388 and NGC 6441. These are the…

Peculiar velocities thoughout the region of the local supercluster are reconstructed by two different orbit-retracing methods. The requirement of the optimal correlation between the radial components of reconstructed velocities and the…

We use the distant outer halo globular cluster Palomar 14 as a test case for classical vs. modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). Previous theoretical calculations have shown that the line-of-sight velocity dispersion predicted by these…

Summary - By combining the 5634 redshifts from the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey (the ENACS) with another 1000 redshifts from the literature we are able to study the distribution of velocity dispersions for a volume-limited sample of 128…

We analyze 9 open clusters with ages in the range 70 Myr to 3.2 Gyr using UCAC2 proper motion data and 2MASS photometry. For each cluster we consider the projected velocity distributions in the core and off-core regions separately. In the…

We present a self consistent nonparametric model of the local cosmic velocity field based on the density distribution in the PSCz redshift survey of IRAS galaxies. The error analysis, carried out on mock PSCz catalogues constructed from…

Astronomical observations showed that there may exist a bulk flow with peculiar velocities in the universe, which contradicts with the (\Lambda)CDM model. The bulk flow reveals that the observational universe is anisotropic at large scales.…

We present a simple model for the shape of the distribution function of galaxy peculiar velocities. We show how both nonlinear and linear theory terms combine to produce a distribution which has an approximately Gaussian core with…

Galaxy clusters are potentially powerful probes of the large-scale velocity field in the Universe because their peculiar velocity can be estimated directly via the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (kSZ). Using high-resolution cosmological…

Deep Chandra exposures of the hot galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 have revealed that the cluster is observed shortly after the first core-passage of a massive infalling subcluster, which is preceded by a prominent bow shock with Mach number M~3.…
